Reenactment

"The Promise" - When in Rome

You know what's awesome?
Re-enacting an unbelievable first kiss over and over again.
That's what.

You know what's even awesome-er than that?
Laughing because you can't get the lines just right.
Like the falling over each other and giggling through each effort kinda laugh.

You know what's beyond awesome-est than that?
Feeling that it's a trip that you actually get a second chance to perfect something that was already perfect to begin with and then realizing you can't really repeat too much of a good thing, but you try anyway just to see if you can make it through this reenactment at least once.

Now, I don't know what's more awesome.
That first time all those years ago...
Or all these times we created in a single afternoon.

Lyrics:

If you need a friend
don't look to a stranger
You know in the end
I'll always be there

And when you're in doubt
and when you're in danger
Take a look all around
and I'll be there

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise you)
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you I will

When your day is through
and so is your temper
You know what to do
I'm gonna always be there

Sometimes if I shout
it's not what's intended
These words just come out
with no gripe to bear

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise you)
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise you)
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you I will

I gotta tell ya, I need to tell ya, I gotta tell ya, I gotta tell ya

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise you)
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise you)
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you I will ...
I will...
I will...
I will

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.

Love Is Not Blind

"Colorblind" - Counting Crows I originally had a Dave Matthews Band song in my head, but like always I'm bending the rules a little bit and going with what's in my heart. After all, I couldn't follow my last blog with something you didn't like, could I? That just wouldn't fit and this seems to do just that. This song reminds me of the movie Cruel Intentions . It's hard not to think of it. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's chemistry was so strong, especially in their steamy love scene with this song playing in the background, that any other memory pales in comparison. I always thought the lyrics were so simple and romantic, but it became even clearer here. There was no doubt about it. I knew instantly that they were a real life couple even before they announced it. Love is obvious. Acting can never really be this good unless two people have genuine feelings for each. Look at Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in The Notebook and Angelina Jolie ...

Play Pretend

"Animal" - Neon Trees I think of a car commercial. A group of fun-loving teens riding along in a convertible to the beach with their tanned limbs dangling from each side. I could see the waves crashin' against the cliffs as they drive pass with the sun and wind whippin' their golden blond hair over their bug-eyed sunglasses. I hear laughter and this song blasting in the background. I see newly-polished red toe nails and matching swimwear from American Apparel. I smell suntan lotion and tropical kiwi-strawberry body splash. A picnic basket filled with junk food sits side-by-side next to a big, red beer cooler chillin' in the backseat! Everyone's burstin' with bright smiles, white teeth, and energy! What a total California Summer cliche! My ultimate nightmare! But... it is a good song and sometimes a gal gotta step outta my element and play pretend every once in a while as if I will ever be able to fit into this stereotypical mold. Now all this Barbi...
